Translating creative works can be an emotionally taxing experience, I think. Maybe that's not the most accurate assessment of the activity, but at the very least, I don't quite know if I'd be doing it right if I wasn't feeling anything.

I could absolutely translate this more literally. It'd be easier too. But I wouldn't be doing justice to what's being said behind the words. I'd do no justice to the story, to the author's loving craft, the readers who deserve that great experience. It hurts to do a job I know could be done better.

If you want straight theory, I think Routledge's _The Translation Studies Reader_ edited by Lawrence Venuti is a good place to start for some broad history. For more Japanese-focused stuff, Judy Wakabayashi's _Japanese-English Translation_ has also been insightful every time I've opened it.

Hiya! I'm Jasmine, a localization translator by day and a kind of researcher by night! I love words and am intrigued in things like narrative, genre, form, & the linguistic crossings that happen when translation's in the mix. Most of all I love a good story and conveying that magic as well as I can!
Hello! A little self-introduction—I'm Jasmine, and something of a translator, linguist, and academic. I've had the honor of working in video game localization for the past few years, on some very exciting projects which finally released this year! :^) I don't post much but I do like to yap...

Not to ruin the fun but people've done some extensive work on Reddit (which I may or may not have referenced when trying to figure out how to write it myself). But Metaphor's got me feeling the same way, 1000%. aaaaa
